IT WAS SAD TO SEE ROY SO VULNERABLE

IT WAS sad, really sad. Roy Hodgson said in a meeting to us after the game that he was going to be resigning. It was worse the day after, when we were packing our bags and leaving for home. It was terrible. It just made you think that there is more to football. This man has just lost his job. He is a very good man. He gave me my international debut. Even though I was desperate to play in that game and didn’t get on. He was under massive pressure. He lost his job and the whole nation was probably against him at that time. He looked vulnerable that day and it wasn’t nice to see an experienced man like that. It was such a shock. Gary Neville said he will never be able to explain the last 60 minutes. I know what he means. I was sitting there thinking: ‘Why is this happening?’ I’ve been in two camps at tournaments and there was not an issue behind the scenes. The spirit was so good. We were bonding and fighting for each other.
